In the lead-up to the first Global Conscious Food Systems Summit, co-hosted with the Royal Government of Bhutan in 2026, CoFSA has harvested the insights of more than 5 years of co-creation, inquiry and movement building into this Conscious Food Systems Framework.
The Framework contains:
Conscious Food Systems: The Vision. A living document that sets out to capture the essence of conscious food systems in its values and principles.
Conscious Ways of Working: Qualities and practices that embody conscious food systems. A set of qualities, attitudes and approaches that can be cultivated at the individual, collective and institutional levels to embody the values of conscious food systems.
Building the Field of Inner Change for Systemic Transformation and Regeneration: Lessons Learned from the Conscious Food Systems Alliance. A consolidation of the key lessons learned from our collective work growing an Alliance centred on inner change for food systems transformation.
Case Study Collection: Volume 1 & Volume 2. A collection of more than 50 inspiring initiatives from around the world, showcasing the application of consciousness approaches and practices by CoFSA members to transform food systems.
This framework will be completed in 2027 with Guidance for Conscious Food Systems Initiatives: a practical document providing key insights and tips to integrate inner change and consciousness-based approaches in food systems initiatives–including policies, investments and projects.
